NASA Has a Plan to Put Robot Bees on Mars

NASA has teams of researchers running to design a robotic bee that may fly on Mars.

the gap company introduced the mission on March 30. it's in its early tiers, however the concept is to update modern rovers — which might be slow, cumbersome and really luxurious — with swarms of sensor-studded, fast-transferring micro-bots that can cowl plenty more floor at a particularly low price.

literally called Marsbees, the little bots are "flapping wing flyers of a bumblebee size with cicada-sized wings," NASA officers wrote.
